TBH reading this makes me frustrated about a lot of things but a major one is the way Deaf children are denied access to language either way.

I have learned many good things from this Patreon if you are able to subscribe, would recommend.

ICE/BP’s next targets are reportedly Charlotte and New Orleans. Two things: 1) If they had the capacity to hit many cities at once, rather than pick on one or two at a time, they would. 2) Moving south seems to confirm speculation that they’re leaving Chicago because it got cold.

Another recent account

A lot of people have seen this thread! I have shared the family support hotline but if anyone has more resources to share that would be helpful feel free to share.

I felt horrified hearing this story and also feeling like this woman lost her husband. And that she had to learn about this across borders over a phone. I am glad that it seems she has a lot of people in her life that have listened to her sharing and share her outrage.

This story makes me think more about how many families in Chicago of deported residents need support and also need to feel they can share their stories. They need to feel safe. This is one story I'm sure of many many more.

Lawsuit about Broadview conditions filed last week

This account also feels in line with some of what other people that have been in Broadview have shared.

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Honestly a must-read for everyone, regardless if you have children in your life or not. But also would be interesting for #langsky folks.

Currently on a personal dive to learn about learning, does anyone have any materials on the topic that they enjoy? 😊

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

I know things are terrible for everyone actually but increasingly, I am aware of how profoundly not OK I am and I should at this point do a lot more than seeing my therapist, but $200 and I can have four therapy appointments, which is something.

Thinking about bringing some of my threads over 🫠

I appreciate all of you who make the effort to include #Blind dudes like me by adding #AltText descriptions on images you post. It’s awesome that #BlueSky has these #Accessibility tools available (not all platforms do & less people use them on other platforms that do.) Thanks for all your efforts 😎
